But for those of us wearing glasses, the 28mm frame lines in the M6
viewfinder don't make it. You have to peer through the viewfinder window
from all sorts of angles to see if you've got the picture framed right. Much
easier (for me) to pop the accessory viewfinder into the hot shoe and frame
with that, and you don't have the lens hood scarfing up a corner of the
view. Diopters on the rear window of the M6 viewfinder won't work for Chucko
and his astigmatism, either --- when I asked my eye doctor about that
option, he just laughed.
